The Wensleydale 1940s Weekend

In the summertime the market town of
Leyburn
and other towns and villages in
Wensleydale
host a popular 1940s themed weekend.

Much of the event takes place around the
Wensleydale Railway,
with special trains travelling along the line.

Back in
Leyburn
there are gatherings of 1940s military and civilian vehicles
(including tanks, artillery, trucks and vintage cars),
as well as British soldiers, American G.I.s and a whole host of civilian characters
- including the odd
"spiv"
trying to
sell their dodgy wares..
